Parameter in inline view

Hi All,
There is a requirement to change oracle report (rdf) to discoverer. The report query has parameters in inline views which are used as tables (a and b below).
For example:
SELECT a.1,a.2,b.1,b.2
FROM
( select 1,2... from c where c.sth=:Parameter1) a
,( select 1,2... from d where d.sth between :Parameter2 and :parameter3) b
Now that, c.sth or d.sth are not available in select clause, How do i apply the parameters from discoverer desktop.
Also, is there any approach i can follow to solve the same.

Hi,
You can use non-mandatory parameters in a condition but if for some reason a non-mandatory parameter is not available then the user will have to enter a dummy value when the parameter is not used. For example, you could add ALL to the list of values and use a condition like DECODE(param:, 'ALL', column, :param) = column. You can then make the parameter mandatory and the users enter ALL if they don't want to use the parameter.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

How to use Parameter in inline view

I want to deploye following sql in discoveror. Problem is that how to use the P_TO_DATE in disco.
select papf.employee_number, papf.effective_start_date, papf.effective_end_date, paaf.effective_start_date, paaf.effective_end_date,
(select peev.screen_entry_value

from per_assignments_f paaf, per_people_f papf
where papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
and papf.employee_number = '101111'

Hi,
What you can do is to change the query so that the parameters will be in the where clause and then you can define the condition with the parameter in the dicoverer worksheet.
Use the following code instead of your own:
select papf.employee_number,
papf.effective_start_date,
papf.effective_end_date,
paaf.effective_start_date,
paaf.effective_end_date,
Basic_Salary.p_start_date1, ---> create the conditions on those fields
Basic_Salary.p_start_date2,
Basic_Salary.p_end_date1,
Basic_Salary.p_end_date2
from per_assignments_f paaf,
per_people_f papf,
(select peev.screen_entry_value,
pee.assignment_id,
pee.effective_start_date p_start_date1, --parameter
pee.effective_end_date p_end_date1, --parameter
peev.effective_start_date p_start_date2,--parameter
peev.effective_end_date p_end_date2
from pay_element_types_f pet,
pay_element_classifications pec,
pay_input_values_f piv,
pay_element_entries_f pee,
pay_element_entry_values_f peev
where pet.classification_id = pec.classification_id
and pet.processing_type = 'R'
and pec.classification_name = 'Earnings'
and piv.name in ('Monthly Amount')
and pet.ELEMENT_TYPE_ID = piv.ELEMENT_TYPE_ID
and pet.element_type_id = pee.element_type_id
and piv.INPUT_VALUE_ID = peev.INPUT_VALUE_ID
and pet.ELEMENT_NAME = 'Basic Salary'
and pee.ELEMENT_ENTRY_ID = peev.ELEMENT_ENTRY_ID
) Basic_Salary
where papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
and Basic_Salary.assignment_id = paaf.assignment_id
--and Basic_Salary.p_start_date1 <= :P_TO_DATE
--and Basic_Salary.p_start_date2 <= :P_TO_DATE
--and Basic_Salary.p_end_date1 >= :P_TO_DATE
--and Basic_Salary.p_end_date2 >= :P_TO_DATE
--and papf.employee_number = '101111'

Passing a value to Inline View WHERE clause through JDev...

Hi ,
I need to pass a value to inline view which is mentioned in below VIEW query.
That view is created inside a view using jDev. Note that there are two WHERE clauses one in the Main query and the other in the Inline view.
How to set the value for the innerView.
//copied the code from Java
view.volAlertsHistroyView.setWhereClauseParam(1, new Integer(clientId));
Gives an error Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1
SELECT Alerts.SEND_TIME,
     Alerts.STATUS,
     Alerts.TEXT ,
     Groups.NAME,
          VolRoles.ROLE_NAME,
               VolRoles.ID as vid,
               Groups.ID as gid
     FROM ALERTS Alerts, ALERTS_GROUPS AlertsGroups, GROUPS Groups, VOL_ROLES VolRoles,
--Inline view starts
(SELECT GRP_ID, VRL_ID FROM vol_groups WHERE cli_id = :1) user_group_role
--Inline view ends
--Actual WHERE clause starts
     WHERE ((Alerts.ID = AlertsGroups.ALT_ID)AND (AlertsGroups.GRP_ID = Groups.ID))AND (AlertsGroups.VRL_ID = VolRoles.ID)
     AND AlertsGroups.VRL_ID = user_group_role.VRL_ID AND AlertsGroups.GRP_ID = user_group_role.GRP_ID
Please get back to me .

What happens when you change your Java code to:
view.volAlertsHistroyView.setWhereClauseParam(0, new Integer(clientId));
The ":1" does not directly relate to the where clause param index you use in Java. In your query you could also use a ":2" for example. In BC4J you still use "0" for the first param.

Tuning query with inline views

Hi!
I have a performance problem with the following query. I try to combine v1 and v2 into one inline view but because of the recursive design of the tables workflow and workflow_node it didn't work.
Does anybody has an idea for tuning this query?
SELECT distinct v1.u_protocol_id
   FROM ( SELECT workflow_node.workflow_id,u_protocol.u_protocol_id
               FROM workflow_node,workflow,U_protocol
               WHERE workflow.workflow_id=workflow_node.workflow_id
                 AND u_protocol.u_protocol_id = workflow_node.parameter_2
              AND workflow_node.workflow_node_type_id=17
              AND workflow.workflow_node_type_id=42
         ) v1,
         ( SELECT workflow_node.workflow_id,test_template.test_template_id
           FROM workflow_node,test_template
           WHERE test_template.test_template_id = workflow_node.template
             AND workflow_node.order_number = 1
             AND workflow_node.workflow_node_type_id=42
         ) v2,
         ( SELECT aliquot.aliquot_id,test_template.test_template_id
           FROM aliquot,test,test_template
           WHERE aliquot.aliquot_id = test.aliquot_id
             AND test.test_template_id = test_template.test_template_id
         ) v3
   WHERE v1.workflow_id = v2.workflow_id
     AND v2.test_template_id= v3.test_template_id

I have found a script (utlxplan.sql) for creating the plan_table so here it is

Is the inline view functions causes more ?

Hi,
I am getting ORA-07445 CORE DUMP ERROR...
IT IS COMING ONLY SOMETIMES WHEN EXECUTING A STRORED PROCEDURE
WITH 10 STATEMENTS.
OUT OF THEM ONE REFERES TO REFCURSOR FOR OUT PARAMETER,
THAT QUERY IS LIKE
SELECT * FROM(SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM(.....))));
So is this inline view statement causes for such errors?
Please help me.
thanks in advance,

Probably regular FFT functions from Labview Signal Analysis and Processing Pallete can be used as well. In this case the following articles are worth reading:

Does an inline view execute before the rest of the select?

Hi,
The O'Reilly book Mastering Oracle Sql defines an inline view simply as a
subquery in a select FROM clause. This conforms to the definitions in
the Oracle 9i and 10g docs.
But unlike the Oracle docs, the O'Reilly book says the inline view is,
like a WITH clause, executed before the rest of the query. I can't see
how this can be done unless the inline view makes no reference to
other tables joined in the FROM clause.
Is there a species of inline view in 9i/10g that IS restricted as above -
no refs to other tables in the FROM clause - and what is it called?
Thanks for any help.

As explained above, Oracle can choose to merge the query if feasible to do so. Look at the two queries and their plans below. The plan in second query changes to creating a temporary VIEW since in that case, Oracle is unable to perform the merge:

Disable inline viewing of attachments in Mavericks mail

Dear all
In previous version of the OS, there was an easy terminal fix to disable inline viewing of attachments in mail. Instead of bulky and cumbersome images and PDFs, I used to get nice, neat icons.
This terminal fix doesn't seem to work in Mavericks.
Online sources tell me to buy a separate app called Attachment Tamer to fix this.
Just wanted to find out whether there is a way to do this without additional software.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Zam

Sorry, that page is a description of the basic functionality that is supposed to work in Mavericks, but is entirely failing to work for me. I tried calling Apple Support on the phone, and went through many attempted fixes with the experts, but they eventually threw up their hands in despair.

Issue with Inline View Criteria

Hi,
I have a VO created on two tables that are joined by a 1:1 association(say Opportunity and Revenue). The query is specified in Expert mode because I need some aggregations performed using analytic functions. Data security predicates are applied on top of this query using a dummy View Criteria. My requirement now is that I need to filter these results using another VC. The issue is that both the tables have attributes with the same name(say Cust ID) and I need to filter based on this using an inline View Criteria. I have done the same declaratively. However, I get an error on hitting the page saying the columns have been ambiguously defined.
On digging through the log, I discovered the test Query fails to prefix the alias before the attribute. So what I get is something similar to this
select (o.id, r.amt, sum(), count(), avg(), o.custId) from opty o, revn r where (o.id in DATA SECURITY PREDICATE) and (custId = :bindCustId)
Is there a way to ensure that the custId can be changed to o.custId???
Note - The View Criteria was created on an attribute from opty table that was exposed i.e in this case, o.custId. Although the query builder shows it correctly while creating the VC declaratively, the issue persists as seen from the logs.
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi experts...
Any pointers to this issue???
Please help!

[sql performance] inline view , group by , max, join

Hi. everyone.
I have a question with regard to "group by" inline view ,
max value, join, and sql performance.
I will give you simple table definitions in order for you
to understand my intention.
Table A (parent)
C1
C2
C3
Table B (child)
C1
C2
C3
C4 number type(sequence number)
1. c1, c2, c3 are the key columns of tabla A.
2. c1, c2, c3, c4 are the key columns of table B.
3. table A is the parent table of Table B.
4. c4 column of table b is the serial number.
(c4 increases from 1 by "1" regarding every (c1,c2,c3)
the following is the simple example of the sql query.
select .................................
from table_a,
(select c1, c2, c3, max(c4)
from table_b
group by c1, c2, c3) table_c
where table_a.c1 = table_c.c1
and table_a.c2 = table_c.c2
and table_a.c3 = table_c.c3
The real query is not simple as above. More tables come
after "the from clause".
Table A and table B are big tables, which have more than
100,000,000 rows.
The response time of this sql is very very slow
as everyone can expect.
Are there any solutions or sql-tips about the late response-time?
I am considering adding a new column into "Table B" in
order to identify the row, which has max serial number.
At this point, I am not sure adding a column is a good
thing in terms of every aspect.
I will be waiting for your advice and every response
will be appreciated even if it is not the solution.
Have a good day.
HO.

For such big sources check that
1) you use full scans, hash joins or at least merge joins
2) you scan your source data as less as possible. In the best case each necessary table only once (for example not using exists clause to effectively scan all table via index scan).
3) how much time you are spending on sorts and hash joins (either from v$session_longops directly or some tool that visualises this info). If you are using workarea_size_policy = auto, probably you can switch to manual for this particular select and adjust sort_area_size and hash_area_size big enough to do as less as possible sorts on disk
4) if you have enough free resources i.e. big box probably you can consider using some parallelism
5) if your full scans are taking big time check what is your db_file_multiblock_read_count, probably increasing it for this select will give some gain.
6) run trace and check on what are you waiting for
7) most probably your problem is IO bound so probably you can do something from OS side to make IO faster
8) if your query now is optimized as much as you can, disks are running as mad and you are using all RAM then probably it is the most you can get out of your box :)
9) if nothing helps then you can start thinking about precalculations either using your idea about derived column or some materialized views.
10) I hope you have a test box and at least point (9) do firstly on it and see whether it helps.

Setting parameter in Detail View Object

I want to setting parameter in detail view.I have two table.One is master another is detail.I use parameter in master table so I put my page parameter form and I execute it.It work fine.I want to use parameter in detail table.In detail table if I dont use parameter master is execute it automaticly and it shows the result but when I put the parameter in detail it isn't show any result it say no rows return.Please help about to use detail views parameters(bind variables)

Hmmm, sorry, not sure.
Can I suggest you change your code to the following:
RowSetIterator[] iter= getMasterRowSetIterators();
if (iter != null && iter[0].first() != null) {
Row row = rsi[0].getCurrentRow();
.....(etc)....And run it in the debugger. See if it actually gets to the Row line. If not getMasterRowSetIterators() isn't returning any iterators and you should check how you've exposed your VOs in your AM - specifically looking to see if your detail VO is actually a detail VO to a parent VO.
Also I'm not sure overriding executeQuery() is the best place to be doing this as the doco says it is not always called. The doco seems to indicate executeQueryForCollection() is the preferred method. However in my testing it appears you can't set the query parameters in this method.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Can You Explain This SQL Query - Inline View Included

The query is taken from "Oracle Database 10g: SQL Fundamentals II" page 3-7 (chapter 3)
I do not fully understand the following query:
SELECT a.last_name, a.salary, a.department_id, b.salavg
FROM   employees a, (SELECT   department_id,
AVG(salary) salavg
FROM     employees
GROUP BY department_id) b
WHERE a.department_id = b.department_id
AND    a.salary > b.salavg;
The inline view can return several records. Can you please tell me in step by step how does this work. I understand the concept of join tables and aliases, etc. I just need to know the mechanism of this code.
Thanks

Using inline view with NOT IN clause

I have a query with a NOT IN clause in the where clause that I would like to convert to an inline view. The select looks something like this:
select uid, SYSDATE from tab1, tab2
where tab1.uid = tab2.uid
and ...
and tab1.uid not in (select uid from tab3 where....)
I've used inline queries elsewhere to great effect, but this one has me stumped. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

There can be problem with using not in or not exists depending on the amount of data in the tables and the relationship between them.
I didn't got if you had problem with the existing SQL-statement, created view or both.
Check statistics and look at explain plan for the sql-statement and the view.
The problem can actually be some where clause that you have in the sql-statement but not in the view, but apply later when using the view.

Need help with SQL Query with Inline View + Group by

Hello Gurus,
I would really appreciate your time and effort regarding this query. I have the following data set.
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*20.00*-------------19
1234567----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment for bad quality---------44345563------------------A-----------------10.00------------19

4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765--------------------I---------------------30.00-------------19
Please Ignore '----', added it for clarity
I am trying to write a query to aggregate paid_amount based on Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number and display description with Invoice_type 'I' when there are multiple records with the same Reference_No, Check_Number, Payment_Date, Invoice_Number, Invoice_Type, Vendor_Number. When there are no multiple records I want to display the respective Description.
The query should return the following data set
Reference_No---Check_Number---Check_Date--------Description-------------------------------Invoice_Number----------Invoice_Type---Paid_Amount-----Vendor_Number
1234567----------11223-------------- 7/5/2008----------paid for cleaning----------------------44345563------------------I-----------------*10.00*------------19
7654321----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------Adjustment from last billing cycle-----23543556-------------------A--------------------50.00--------------19
4653456----------11223--------------7/5/2008-----------paid for cleaning------------------------35654765-------------------I---------------------30.00--------------19
The following is my query. I am kind of lost.
select B.Description, A.sequence_id,A.check_date, A.check_number, A.invoice_number, A.amount, A.vendor_number
from (
select sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, sum(paid_amount) amount, vendor_number
from INVOICE
group by sequence_id,check_date, check_number, invoice_number, vendor_number
) A, INVOICE B
where A.sequence_id = B.sequence_id

[SQL] inline view and order by on oracle 8.0.5

Hi everyone.
I am trying to sort data inside "inline view"
on "Oracle8 Release 8.0.5.0.0 - Production".
However, it did not work. Is this an oracle-bug?
I got the oracle error , "ORA-00907".
The sql script is like this:
select ..............
from (select ..... from .. where .... order by ...)
where rownum <11
However, the "exactly" same sql has no problem
on "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0".
Every response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ho.

Order by cannot be used in a subquery while for inline view it is supported but in Oracle8i, release 8.1 and up

Problem while using inline view.

hello everyone, i have a certain problem. i have a query where i have used 3 inline views.which is as follow.
SELECT X.MC_ID,
X.PROD,X.EFF,Y.PROD,Y.EFF,Z.PROD,Z.EFF
FROM
(SELECT A.MC_ID MC_ID,A.COARSE_FINE,DECODE(A.COARSE_FINE,'F',NVL(A.PRODUCTION,0),0) PROD,
DECODE(A.COARSE_FINE,'F',(NVL(A.PRODUCTION,0)/NVL(A.FINE_TARGET_PROD,0))* 100,0) EFF
FROM PR_DAILY_DOFFING_ENTRY A
WHERE A.SHIFT = 'A'
AND MC_ID = 24
AND TO_CHAR(A.DOFFING_DATE,'DD/MM/RRRR') = '28/10/2004') X,
(SELECT A.MC_ID,A.COARSE_FINE,DECODE(A.COARSE_FINE,'F',NVL(A.PRODUCTION,0),0) PROD,
DECODE(A.COARSE_FINE,'F',(NVL(A.PRODUCTION,0)/NVL(A.FINE_TARGET_PROD,0))* 100,0) EFF
FROM PR_DAILY_DOFFING_ENTRY A
WHERE A.SHIFT = 'B'
AND MC_ID = 24
AND TO_CHAR(A.DOFFING_DATE,'DD/MM/RRRR') = '28/10/2004') Y,
(SELECT A.MC_ID,A.COARSE_FINE,DECODE(A.COARSE_FINE,'F',NVL(A.PRODUCTION,' '),' ') PROD,
DECODE(A.COARSE_FINE,'F',(NVL(A.PRODUCTION,' ')/NVL(A.FINE_TARGET_PROD,' '))* 100,' ') EFF
FROM PR_DAILY_DOFFING_ENTRY A
WHERE A.SHIFT = 'C'
AND MC_ID = 24
AND TO_CHAR(A.DOFFING_DATE,'DD/MM/RRRR') = '28/10/2004') Z
Now my problem is that the view z is returning null as results in the prod and eff coloums.( well that is fine since i actually have no datas in my table against shift 'C') but inline views x and y are returning datas. but when i am selecting this -- SELECT X.MC_ID,
X.PROD,X.EFF,Y.PROD,Y.EFF,Z.PROD,Z.EFF nothing is being returned as all the coloums are showing null values. when it should show values in (X.PROD,X.EFF,Y.PROD,Y.EFF) coloumns and null in (Z.PROD,Z.EFF) coloumns. please suggest me what to do now.

is this your complete query? I guess you are missing the joining conditions if this is your complete query.
it should be like this
